Personal …Angie

Paperwork & email day

Today I’ll be working on emails and paperwork.  I’m running a tad behind ….. I had doctors appointments Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and by the time I got home I was to tired to work.

If I get caught up I may post a project this afternoon.

Good news though …. I went to my thyroid doctor yesterday and as I expected my medicine needed to be increased …. my levels were high …which meant my dosage needed to be increased.   Maybe I’ll get lucky and it will start working right away 🙂

My 12 weeks of Halloween has two weeks left … I’ll get them posted by Monday (Halloween) so you may want to check back over the weekend. 

 Warning … this may shock you …or scare you.  I had over 30,000 emails in my assortment of email boxes …and I just couldn’t take it any longer.  So, I deleted every email that was dated before July, 2011.  If you sent me an email before that date …and I never answered you … please feel free to email me again.  

I think this may be the time to say  …in the old days …before this spring. I used to check my email every minute of every day.  I was obsessed!  But when life happens …it really shows you what your priorities should be.  I’ve told many people what happened this year was a wake up call that I was over doing it.  I got the message and I’m changing my ways.  It may take me a while to figure out my system but I will do it!  This is forcing me to be organized in a way that I’ve never been……but always wanted.   Sorry I’m rattling on today …..I do that when I get really tired.

Thanks for understanding & have a great day!

Help Wanted/Needed

Admitting defeat is not an easy thing …especially when I tell my children that you can do anything ….if you set your mind to it.

I guess the exception is ….. our health.  Without saying it I took off last week…. worked maybe five hours the whole week…. thinking if I just took it easy for one more week I would be good to go. 

So, yesterday I decide to work on my Spice Cake Drag Around Rag Quilt.  The pieces were already cut ..how hard would it be to sew and then snip some fabric edges?

Three hours later … I can hardly move my arm and my right hand is numb.  Especially my thumb. 

Just typing this makes me so upset!  Some of you are okay with all this medical stuff …  you've been through something like this …. but there's a whole other side that doesn't get it …. yet!  And I know …. some of you are tired of reading this … believe me I'm tired of writing it. 

What are my choices?  Not share all this?  … let my blog go without being updated?

But I can't afford to do that ….. I've worked all these years to build a business and I have monthly fees for every service  (Cartville, Constant Contact, Typepad, WordPress, Blue Host, Go Daddy, Easy Video Player, Paypal, Host Gator, Amazon & many more). 

So, I've decided instead of giving up … I'm going to hire some people to help me.

My next post will contain all the details.

Thank you for understanding and for all your prayers!!

Just checking in …..

I just had to share this …hopefully I'll feel up to stamping tomorrow!!

I was sitting in front of my computer having a pity party. I'm soooo tired I can't even walk upstairs.  I've been on my thyroid medicine for a week … (as of today).  I know it's going to take time …… but we all know I'm not the most patient person.

The reason I'm sharing this is ….the past few days I've tried to figure out …. "why did I feel good last Wednesday and Thursday and where did that energy go?"  So…. I'm sitting here at my computer just listening to stuff (training video and apple iphone 4s release …..yes …..at the same time) and I heard a new email come across my computer ….I did a quick glance and this is what caught my eye.

Peggy, thank you so much for sending this to me!!! I'm going to do some research and try to find out what I could be doing wrong.  I sure wish I knew what I ate on Wed and Thurs….starting today I'm keeping track of everything I do ….and eat/drink.

Sorry I'm not sharing a cute project today …. I have some I made last week …..but I don't have the energy to do all the steps to get it posted.  (maybe tomorrow!!)

Thanks!!

I feel much better!!

Just a quick note to let you all know that I'm feeling much better!!!  In fact most of my cold/flu symptoms are gone …. and my chief complaint is I'm VERY TIRED.

The good news is …… I started meds for my thyroid yesterday!!! I know that everyone says it takes a while to kick in …I'm just happy to know I'm headed in the right direction ….. instead of waiting.

I'm in my office today and you're going to see some small posts here and there as I start to go through my emails.

Again I ask for your patience …if you've emailed me lately …. I've not been working.  But …. I am today. (I'm actually excited …. it's the first time in quite a while that I've walked into my office and not wanted to run back out!!)

If you have any questions please use the email below.

Are you wondering why my email address is a picture and not a link? …..because I'm getting flooded with yucky emails …you know what I mean?  I don't even want to type the word for fear it will attract more!!!

Have a great day!!

Founders Circe 2011

Missing the last two days of Founders Circle was kinda a bummer ….but I have to say there were many special moments and it was worth it! 

To mention a few:

  • On the first day …. I was able to sit for at least six hours with fellow demos … working on swaps and laughing a bunch! 
  • I went to Jill's and not only did I learn how to make a tea towel apron but she gave me one as well.
  • I was able to get my Founders Circle Pillow gifts.
  •  I became friends with several of my fellow Stampin Up demos and they helped me A LOT!!!

Had I not gone I would not have shared those special moments with those ladies.  So long story short … even though I've felt like I was dying the past few days …  it was still worth it.  (not sure my hubby understands but I bet most of you women get it.) 

Love you all!!

p.s. I have to tell you ….this cold/flu ..whatever it is that I have …has been worse than surgery.  At least after surgery I took pain pills and slept.  The sore throat, coughing and not sleeping …after having surgery …. is AWFUl!!  The good news is I do feel better today …better than yesterday.  But still sick ….. everyone that has called me today says I sound awful :)  You'll probably hear it when I stream live on Wednesday when I announce the winner for the first Big Shot.

Checking in

A quick update …. I had a great time at Founders Circle ….but I had to cut it short.

I’m sad to say I got really sick and had to come home on Friday. I’ve been in bed ever since and haven’t slept in three days/nights.

As soon as I’m on my feet I’ll let you know. I’m really sorry that I’ve not checked my emails. I honestly am too sick to do anything.

Stamp club ladies …. I’m pretty sure
I’m not going to be able to have Stamp Club Tuesday. I’ll send you ladies an email tomorrow.

Thanks and have a good night.

P.S. I owe a lot of thanks to many of my fellow demos!! They really took care of me!! Thanks ladies!!!!

Our dear Fluffy

Fluff Rest in Peace our dear Fluffy!!!

It's been almost three months since we lost Sissy and Fluffy's health faded real fast!!! 

She was my first inside dog and I will miss her terribly.

This was one of my favorite pictures of her & Brooke when they were both much younger.

Brooke & Fluffy
We Love you Fluffy!!

 

Thank you!

Thanks for all the emails, phone calls and comments here on my blog and on Facebook.  I appreciate it more than words can ever express!!!

I wanted to let you all know that I'm not too terribly worried!  I'm worried …but not sick with it.  I may change my mind once we get close to the 22nd!!  You may want to add David to your prayer list …. since I'm a big baby when it comes to medical stuff he's going to have to deal with a lot!!! 

I had a few people ask me how I found out I had a mass on my Thyroid …so here it goes.

Chase's surgery was in April and we had to put Sissy to sleep in June ….. in between all that….. I started losing hair …clumps of it in the shower and I was TIRED all the time.  I could drink a cup of coffee and go right to sleep.  And when you're tired you're also very grumpy.  I thought I was depressed.  After dealing with Chase's tumor I felt I needed to at least get a check up from my doctor. 

Long story short …ultrasound showed the mass … oddly enough the blood work didn't show anything out of whack …. but both of my doctors have said they see that all the time. Before they told me that I would swear they switched my blood …how could I feel so horrible and my blood work be normal?  

So what I'm really trying to say is I'm so thankful we found the problem.  The past few months have been very trying to say the least  …but as many of you have reminded me… God doesn't give us any more than we can handle … I guess maybe I could argue with that …but overall this is just a bump in the road and when I look around me I am a very blessed woman and so very thankful!!!  

I'll be back later today with a project to share with you.

See ya soon!
